Wonderful Experience In Sedona, Arizona

Have you ever went to a place for the first time and didn’t have enough time to take it all in? Have you ever wanted to go to Arizona? Well, I have and Sedona, Arizona is one of those places! let me take you on a bit of a “Wonderful Experience In Sedona, Arizona.”

We went to Sedona back in 2007 when our friends Jim & Betty treated us to a trip to visit them in Prescott, Arizona. They showed us an experience of a life time which is a story for another day so you will have to return for “The Rest of the Story.”

Let’s get back to our wonderful experience in Sedona, Arizona. As we drove into Sedona we had to pull over because there was a little lizard – hanging out in the back window! Jim grabbed him by the tail and his tail came off!! I took advantage of the moment and captured a few snapshots.

The Red Rocks so popular around Sedona

The beautiful Red Rocks that are one of Sedona’s trademarks and then of course Arizona has these cactus everywhere. Ray is 6′ tall so you can see how huge this Agave Americana Cactus is.

Sedona is a prime visitor destination, it offers so much when it comes to a wonderful experience. It is a great place for a romantic getaway or even a place to retire to. The adventures are endless, hundreds of trails for hiking and mountain biking. A photographers paradise with the magnificent red rock country showing off it’s crimson spires and the blaze orange cliffs during a gorgeous romantic sunset. Sedona offers so much adventure and for all ages, from a hot-air balloon ride, white water rafting to a family time at “Slide Rock State Park.” https://azstateparks.com/slide-rock/

Tlaquepaque Shopping Center

I can’t end here and not share my favorite part of Sedona without introducing you to “Tlaquepaque,” just pronouncing it was an adventure! You ask what is Tlaquepaque (tlakeˈpake)?

It is a shopping center in downtown Sedona, with unique stores. I am sure it has grown with many more stores since I was there almost 10 years ago!! All the more reason for me to make another visit there. Tlaquepaque is more than just a shopping experience, it is so hard to describe the grandeur of this place.

Along with many art galleries you will find American Western Sculptures, wild life bronzes and breathtaking blown glass creations displayed throughout the grounds. These are actual pictures from my gallery of photos I took while there at Sedona.

So many shops to discover, the large array of items available, persian rugs, Native American jewelry, fun to wear clothing, enjoy browsing, tasting and dining. Plus Tlaquepaque comes alive with it’s Annual Lighting of 6,000 Luminarias, a cherished tradition. Lighting throughout the courtyards and walkways, sharing the exquisite display with carolers, choirs and musicians.

Oh how I would love to take another trip back to Sedona, who knows maybe I will, my husband is always threatening to move to Arizona to get out of the cold.
